Tokyo Podcast

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

On this show Anthony talks about leaving friendly Thailand, experiencing culture shock at the rudeness of the Chinese and the feeling of relief after finally making it to Japan.

He also talks about the difficulties and challenges of finding an apartment in Japan. This is a process filled with large amounts of paperwork, procedures and endless fees.

So far the change from Thailand to Japan has been a lot more complicated than Anthony expected but he is looking forward to settling into his new life in Tokyo.

Typhoon Roke slammed into Japan today at the height of the Tokyo rush hour causing the train system to come to a complete stop. With over 6 million people using the train system per day any delay is going to cause massive back ups. On this show Tony experiences both a typhoon and the notorious Japanese rush hour.

On this teaser episode of Tokyo Podcast Tony talks about what is coming up for the show. Some of the topics that will be covered will be:

• Living and working in Japan
• Shinto Buddhism
• Sports in Japan
• Japanese Language

And of course many interviews with fascinating expats and Japanese people. The first show will launch on October 2 so keep your eye open for that.
